IMPRovE'ivrENT In'- cHURNs.

Be it knownthat we, WILLIAM H. CURTIN- Vand WILLIAM LAMMERS, of Clement and Breese, respect- -iv`ely,` in the county of Clinton andState of Illinois,

have made certain'new and'usefnl Improvements in NOhrns vand we dohereby declare -that the" following i is a fu-ll and true description thereof, reference' being `had to the 'accompanying drawing and to the letters Jofreferencemarked thereon. i

` This invention relates'to the arrangement of the hurnfbody or vessel onrockers, so that an oscillatory 4 `movement may readily be imparted to the churn b :propelling itsimilarlyto a cradle. 1 `Said invention relates; furthermore, tothe arrange` rment of suitable breakers or dash-boards within the churn-vessel whereon the globules of milk are broken toliberate the fats and `oils which afterward collectfaudform butter. i A rfgLastly, in-connection with the churn-vessel proper "weairange a sub-chamber, and the object thereof is Qtdemployin said sub-chamber warm orpcold water, forgice, as the season may be, to properly temper the Hchurnv`essel above and its conten Tojenable those herein skilled to make and use our `saidimprovedchurrnwe will now morefully describe the same, referringherein to the accompanying- `Iliigurel as allongitndinal sectional elevation; to

` `I `Figure 2 as a transverse sectional elevation; -and Y Figure 3 as a longitudinal elevation. i

The churn -is constructed of the usual materials, chiefly wood, and may be varied greatly in form, and `still thefeatnresof this invention may be applied. Y.

Grdinarily the churnbody A will be a square tub or vessel, of which, bylpreference, the ends Ai will be' vertical and the sides Azwill be somewhat inclined, causing the Vessel to be narrower at bottom than at The `body A will `have a suitable cover, B, hinged to the top boards, so Vaste perfectly inclose the inner churn-vessel Ai.d f I J 1 'lhe churn-body will restnpon rockers C; these may v `be of anyysuitable material not subject to ready wear,

especially upon the rocking surfaces.

`our hands, 'in presence ofi The Soheule `referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

As the churn A is thus oscillated upon therockers C the milk within the vessel A3 surges back and forth, striking the ends vof the churn; but to cause a greater disintegration of the milkglobnles than thus to be achieved, we arrange the breakers D in the grooves a of the sides A2 of the churn-body.

The' breakers consist of end-pieces, d, suitablyinclined to fit the grooves a and joined by horizontal bars, d', which are made of a rectangular section.

. The breakers D may readily be removed.` if it is desired to cleanse them or the churn-vessel; the water used herefor, and the watery residues, after churning, will'be drawn olf at the cock or screw-plug E. Itis known that it is -of importance to give the churn-vessel A3 the proper temperature. -While this may prevent coagulation, it will generally advance and hasten the formation of butter. We have, therefore, f

lfit be desirable to transmit'heat more readily,tlie

churn-bottom separating the compartments Af' and F may be metallic.

-. We do not claim that any of the specific parts `of our churn are new,`or that in their use they produce any new results; `but Having thus fully described our said invention, What we claim is- 4 The arrangement of the vessel A A1 A. A3, subchamber F, dashers D, when' combined with rockers C, substantially as and forithe purposes set forth.

In testimony of said invention we have hereunto s et NVJ H. G'URTIN. WILLIAM LAMMERS. Witnesses:
